t y1 f " 1 IF a HIf 1 i l soi o y ? u i r 1 1 Vol. 80, No. 139 Chapel Hill, North Carolina, Thursday, March 30, 1972 Founded February 23, 1893 unit as action 'not political9 by Lynn Lloyd Staff Writer Carl Smith, candidate in the 16th Senatorial District and owner of the building housing Chapel Hill's "love boutique," Adam & live, told the Raleigh News and Observer Tuesday that his action against the shop is not politically motivated. Smith has indicated that the store's lease will not be renewed when it expires in July. Smith alleged that supporters of one of his opponents, A.B. Coleman of Hillsborough, have raised the issue to discredit him publically, according to the News and Observer story Wednesday. Smith could not be reached for comment Wednesday. "It's hilarious that Carl Smith is having trouble with his tenants and is trying to tie it in with my supporters," Coleman commented. "So to slick up his image he has decided he is going to kick them out. 1 feel sorry for him if he is having difficulty with his tenants, but 1 don't see how in the world I had anything to do with it." Smith, who is a state representative and a local Chapel Hill investment broker, told the News and Observer he doesn't think there is any question "this has been politically motivated by people working for Coleman." He said he felt Coleman supporters were behind an article in Tuesday's edition of The Daily Tar Heel dealing with the Adam & Eve lease situation, and another front page story detailing Coleman's candidacy. Smith said he is not going to make this a campaign issue. Adam & Eve opened in November with a sublease from Herb Holland Associates, which shared the building wjth Smith's own office. Holland's lease has since been terminated and Smith said he will honor the sublease only until its expiration in July. Smith also said there is a possibility the store might be allowed to remain after its lease expires.

Fraternity Greek Week games, which have been incorporated into the week-long drive, will mark the end of the carnival with the chariot race competition at I 1 p.m. This year. APO has chosen 14 organizations to be recipients of the funds collected. These groups include the N.C. Heart Association, which awards more than SI 25.000 in research erants to Symposium panel Southern e ducat ion discussed. by Lynn Smith Staff Writer Nationally prominent educators held a panel discussion on four aspects of southern education the private college, the black college, elementary and secondary education and an overview of the future as another exploration of "The Mind of the South" Tuesday night. James E. Cheek, president of Howard University, called his remarks on black universities "Education for Liberation." He said education in a democracy is a moral issue. The future of America, he said, depends on the education of black citizens. Cheek sees the predominately black university as the chief instrument for informing and inspiring his people. "The Southern mind has made it both necessary and possible to establish predominately Negro, colleges." Cheek j said, "the South must bear the burden for educating the blacks." He noted a redefinition of the Negroes' search for justice. '"There has been a shift from civil rights to social justice." he said. "We now are searching for equity and self-direction. The Negro college will assume a strategic role in this self-direction." Craig Phillips, superintendent of public instruction in North Carolina, cited busing, teacher's unions and increased participation in local education by the federal government as three of the major changes elementary and secondary education are undergoing. "'Political expediency takes priority these days." he said. "Wise use of resources is sometimes overlooked. "The school is the most visible agent for social change in the community." Phillips thinks responsible Southern leadership is working for an end to segregationf "Response has been positive and constructive, if not enthusiastic," he noted. "The pendulum is swinging toward human understanding." Samuel R. Spencer. Jr.. president of Davidson College, took up the theme of federal intervention in education to point out how the private schools "help by just being there. "When they're not tax supported, they're not under political control." he said. Spencer talked about independence as a major function of the university. It should maintain a forum where unpopular views can be propagated without fear of outside intervention, he said. He pointed out that the first opposition to the speaker ban ruling in North Carolina came from presidents of Avery experiment A rea on to live im dorm private colleges. "Such division of powers is especially important in this region." he said. Logan Wilson, president of the American Council On Education, encouraged youth to work toward educational reform in the future but had cautions to offer as well. "The past, present and future are not unrelated." he said. "No society ever makes a completely fresh start." He said it was nonsense to expect both a merit system and equality, or both relaxed standards for degrees and increased payoffs for the college graduate. He spoke against lowering standards or requirements. "Relevancy is a measure of curriculum worth," he said. "It is like Nielson ratings in television." The panel was sponsored by the Carolina Symposium, "Mind of the South." I'NC each e.:r tr.e J. V" -s W Gencc-c H.v.c ... .p.-..- .. .v center lo-r wur.g r.v p v Jinr.c 'p rehjb.':t at v- :'v-."

"When even out-of-state freshmen sign up for a dorm just from the reputation the alumni have passed along, you must be doing something right," said O'Neal in a recent interview. Besides being the newly elected president of Avery, O'Neal is chairman of Men's Residence Council and, as such, serves as vice-chairman of the Residence College Federation. He has lived in Avery for three years. In speaking of the success of the Avery experiment in house government, O'Neal said, "We've built something that offers for the first time a reason for men students to want to stay in dormitories." He explained that in providing a strong intramural program, a variety of facilities and a house social program which is independent of the residence college, Avery offers the male resident "fraternity living without the obligations of the fraternity." According to O'Neal, the house government at Avery is unique for a men's residence hail. There is intense residence participation and enthusiasm to the extent that the week before spring break there were two house meetings and two house council meetings, lasting far into the night. "Sometimes our meetings turn into utter chaos ... and shouting matches," said O'Neal, "but it's a new trend, at least there's interest," he said emphatically. Avery's success story began in 1WJ when a group of freshmen and sophomores moved into the dorm and found virtually no house program, empty common rooms, scattered furnishings and a house government so weak that it changed presidents three times in one year. Discovering that the house treasury had accumulated about SI 800 during the dorm's dormant years, a handful of dissatisfied students, led by Allen Reep, Bob Arrington. Hays Howard, Bill Marsh and O'Neal, decided to run for house offices and put the dorm back on its feet. Since then, the dorm has bought curtains, lamps, carpeting, paintings, etc. for the lobby and resurrected an old television from the basement. In addition, with S70 worth of furnishings the students have transformed three basement rooms into a residence college office, a study lounge and a house office. The dorm has built the only dorm-financed and sponsored coffee house on campus in their basement and publishes the Avery Advocate, the only regularly published dorm newspaper on campus. Perhaps one of the most unique and successful projects is the dorm's self-sponsored theft-proof lobby desk system. Evening desk host duly was instituted by the residents on a voluntary basis with monitors serving until midnight in the lobby, after which time the lobby is locked. "We haven't had any thefts since it has been in operation," boasted O'Neal. The residence hall has had what O'Neal calls "phenomenal success" with their house council form of government, instituted last year to "eliminate countless house meetings in which nothing was accomplished," according to O'Neal. The system of eight floor senators and four executive officers is patterned after the women's dorm governments on campus. An outgrowth of the enthusiasm generated by self-government is the "Outstanding Resident Award," presented lo those who have served the house in an exemplary manner. Avery house president for 1071-72 Ralph Hill was recently chosen for the 1071 award. Looking back on three years of working to create better living conditions in Avery. O'Neal said the biggest dissappointment was the failure lo receive cooperation their efforts from the university and the Department of Residence Life. He complained about a two-year-old request for furniture which was finally acted upon this year. "We have put SI, 500-2,000 in dorm improvements in three years," said O Neal, "and I think we've demonstrated that we're willing to back up our end of the deal by taking care of what we have. "I don't think it's fair that social fees have to be expended to buy furniture," he continued. "We get promises, smiles and nothing in return for our el forts." Future plans of ihe house include the construction of a basketball courl behind the dorm and a recreation room with pin ball machines, foos ball, ping pong tables and vending machines. Five coffeehouses, five flicks, and a cookoul are planned for this spring. Avery residents don't want to keep their success to themselves, however. O'Neal and H if I tried to re-aclivate Men's Residence Council this year to transmit their ideas to other nu'ii's dorms and met with little interest from house presidents. They did find an increase in what O'Neal calls the "rumbling militancy" and dissatisfaction in men's residence hall life. He sees student government as a viable instrument for change in the matter of dorm problems. ; "Sludenl Government is not going lo be allowed to sit on a quiftcr of a million dollars a year, of which less than Sl(),)0 is appropriated directly back to the residence hills for improvements," he said. - , ,-..-,.,. . . ?'. 1 - -l - . . vfflf v'. - - - ' mv ; 'J. 1 , . v .... : . . .. . - i . i ' , - f ; - ' ' , ' x iv..i ; -I - -' T i -i -it - - Ti rmTm m - irm i r' i Hi i ' ' " -- i i " - - -'- ..
